Xiaofeng listened to what Gu Yecheng was saying and burst into laughter, "Grandpa, look at what you’re saying. If it really is a ’postpartum wine,’ I’d keep it for myself. Don’t you think? After all, it’s only been over a year since I gave birth, drinking this would surely be very nourishing."
Actually, she had already planted some Purple Sweet Potatoes in her space, but she hadn’t immediately used the ones from her space to brew wine.
She would need to brew two types and then compare them to see the difference between the two wines.
Unnoticed, Gu Yecheng had already finished a bowl, "I feel it should be drunk while it’s hot, it tastes better that way."
"Grandpa, you’re right, it indeed tastes better hot because it has eggs in it. If you drink it cold, there will be a bit of an eggy taste," Xiaofeng also served herself a bowl. Overall, the taste was okay, but it hadn’t reached that exceptionally great level yet.
Perhaps she should add some rock sugar to increase the sweetness. Then, this wine could serve as a dessert.
No sooner said than done, she added a few cubes of rock sugar and stirred it in. With the increased sweetness, the flavor truly improved a lot.
"Daughter-in-law, you could really open a wine tavern," Gu Yecheng laughed, "But if you opened one, I guess young people wouldn’t be the main patrons; we old folks would be the main customers, haha."
The young people of Imperial Capital don’t like rice wine. They prefer cocktails, red wine, and other famous international liquors, as well as coffee and milk tea, which are also their favorites.
Making them like rice wine, or the Purple Sweet Potato Wine we have now, wouldn’t be very likely.
"Grandpa, what about opening a tea house instead, where those who want to drink tea can drink tea, and those who want wine can drink wine?" Grandpa spoke the truth, this isn’t the countryside, and not everyone likes rice wine.
"Haha, you can decide on that. If you open a tea house, I’ll definitely come by now and then to enjoy a cup or two."
Xiaofeng chatted with Gu Yecheng for a bit, then saw Gu Yecheng bring a girl with neat short hair and a dagger tied at her waist—a sign she was very skilled.
Gu Yecheng entered and glanced at the person beside him, but said nothing.
"Wife," Gu Yecheng brought the person over to Xiaofeng, "This is Ayun, from now on, she’ll follow you wherever you go out."
Having a woman follow Xiaofeng would ensure her safety with more meticulous care.
"Young Madam, hello, I’m Ayun." At a glance, Ayun seemed like a tomboy, not very talkative, but her eyes were very expressive.
"Hello." The person was arranged by Gu Yecheng, so of course, Xiaofeng wouldn’t refuse in front of him, "Thank you in advance for your effort."
"Young Madam, you’re welcome. Protecting you is my duty."
Having said that, she quietly moved to the side.
As the Purple Sweet Potato Wine was still steaming hot, Xiaofeng served a bowl for Yecheng, who quickly finished it, savoring the flavor that lingered, quite delicious indeed.
"Young Master." Ye Fei glanced at Ayun at the door and stepped inside, "There’s a man outside, he says he’s a survivor from the chemical plant incident back then, and he has something important to discuss with you."
Gu Yecheng nodded and hurriedly left with Ye Fei.
Now that Gu Yecheng had woken up, Gu Yecheng could rightfully hand over the case to him for handling, freeing himself up to enjoy his tea and wine.
After staying at home for a while, Xiaofeng went to the technology company with Ayun.
The technology company was partly set up, especially the office which was particularly spacious and also equipped with computers, signaling a shift to digital office work.
Computers are not cheap nowadays, at a glance, there were at least thirty desktops, a testament to Yu’s financial strength.
"Xiaofeng, you’ve come at the right time," Yu and Lele just came out from the office, smiling as they approached, "Here’s the thing, our company can start operations at the beginning of next month, but we’ve encountered a bit of a problem. We lack a chief engineer. I know a master, very skilled in this field, but he’s not easily persuaded. Lele and I have visited him several times, but he refuses to leave his retirement. Could you try to persuade him to come out of retirement?"
"What’s the reason he doesn’t want to come out?"
"It seems he needs to look after his son, who got into a fight and sustained a brain injury. Sometimes he acts irrationally and might even harm himself, requiring constant supervision," Yu was clear about this matter.
